Important
Changes to DRE regulations required the removal of one set of user-
defined fields in the Payment of Other Obligations list on both MLDS
screens. Therefore, if you create a new loan file from a loan file that was
created in an earlier Point version, any data that was in the fields that
were removed is lost. To include those obligations in the new loan file,
you must combine the additional obligations and enter the total in the
remaining user-defined field manually.
